Midlands Mourn the Loss of Buddy Meetze

December 30, 2002
"My family and I were so saddened to hear that my longtime friend Buddy Meetze has died," said Rep. Wilson. "Buddy was such a wonderful person, and worked tirelessly for the citizens of Richland County. He and his wife Marguerite were two people who have stood tall for South Carolina and their community for years. ""He was a stalwart for the taxpayers of the Midlands, always asking the tough questions. With a strong devotion to promoting the Republican Party, Buddy put on an annual barbecue that was highlight of the campaign season, a must stop for all Republican candidates statewide. His event frequently had over a thousand attendees from across the Midlands, and was a time of renewing old friendships and his way of keeping our community strong.""Buddy will be greatly missed, as he contributed so much to the people around him. I think his absence will only be felt more and more as time goes on," said Rep. Wilson.###
